Can I use the Karmin hair straighteners with Keratin treatments?

Because the Karmin Styling Irons are designed with advanced temperature control, many users have found that they are a very effective tool to use alongside Keratin treatments. Most treatments require a flat iron that heats up to 400 degrees or higher as the high temperature is necessary for proper application as well as maintaining your treatment. However, all Keratin treatments vary, therefore we recommend you consult your stylist to confirm what is best for maintaining your treatment.

How do I clean my Karmin hair straightener?

Buildup and residue from hair care products can stick to the plates of your styling iron and keep it from performing as it should. To keep your styling iron clean, simply wipe the plates using a soft, damp cloth before or after every use. Make sure your iron is unplugged and cool before cleaning. Never use any type of cleaner to clean your flat iron as this can cause damage to the plates.

The filter works to keep dust and hair out of your hair dryer so regular cleaning is an important step in maintaining your hair dryer. Gently turn the filter ring on the back of your hair dryer to the left to disconnect it and remove the filter screen. The filter screen can be cleaned using a small cleaning brush or old clean toothbrush. Gently brush away any debris. Replace the filter screen and re-attach the ring by turning it to the right.

Why a Tapered Barrel on the Karmin Clipless Curling Iron?

The Karmin G3 Clipless Curling Iron was designed with a tapered barrel (1/2”-1”) so that you can achieve different styles with just one tool. A smaller barrel creates tighter curls whereas a larger barrel gives big, loose curls. When wrapping your hair around the barrel you can create ringlets by keeping hair wrapped closely together at the smaller end of the barrel. Wrapping hair loosely and slightly spaced out along the barrel will create larger loose curls while spacing hair even more will give you soft waves. The styling possibilities are endless with a tapered barrel!
